Hi,
TSH is mildly elevated.
The current 75 mcg dose is a bit low now. Since you’ve stopped breastfeeding, a small increase is often needed.
Do not change the dose yourself.Please consult for proper adjustment.
Feel free to consult for further guidance.👍

Your TSH is mildly elevated while Free T3 and Free T4 are within the normal range.
It is important to review your previous thyroid reports, symptoms, and how regularly you are taking the medication before deciding on any dose adjustment.
Next Steps
Feel free to consult to discuss further treatment plan.

your Free T3 (2.29\text{ pg/mL}) and Free T4 (0.99\text{ ng/dL}) levels are completely normal, but your Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) is elevated at 6.19\text{ mIU/L} against the reference upper limit of 4.94\text{ mIU/L}. This specific biochemical presentation—elevated TSH with normal circulating peripheral hormones—points to mild subclinical hypothyroidism, indicating that your current 75\text{ mcg} daily dose is no longer fully meeting your body's metabolic demands.
Next Steps
You noted that your 75\text{ mcg} regimen was initially locked in as a post-pregnancy dosage, your baby is now over 2 years old, and you have fully stopped breastfeeding. Over the past 2 years, your maternal physiology, body weight, and hormone-binding globe capacities have dynamically shifted away from pregnancy baselines; these metabolic alterations explain why a dosage that kept you stable previously is now leaving you slightly under-replaced.
Health Tips
To structurally evaluate your current body weight, map any ongoing hypothyroid symptoms, and calculate the exact microgram dosage increase needed to normalize your TSH of 6.19, please book a full consultation session via my Practo profile."
